23. C 根据后文“他打开通向地下室的门”可以判断Sibson冲下楼梯的目的是“查看一下”到底发生了什么事情。
24. D 他打开地下室的门,火焰从里面喷发出来。此处explode out意为break out(突然爆发)。
25. A 根据此句中“因为这个房间有一个通向屋外的独立的楼梯”,因此他当时感觉应该是“安全的”。
26. B 当他正想通过那个楼梯出去的时候,却被一堵火墙给阻拦(stop),故用B。
27. B 根据前面“three kilometres”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子应该是离开主干道有3公里。故用介词off。
28. C 由于离开主干道3公里且被树所遮蔽,因此呼救是没有结果的(fruitless),故选C。
29. A 突然他听到了像烟雾警报器之类的声音。strike one’s ears“传进某人的耳朵;突然听到”。
30. D 根据后文Huggons拨打911可知,他是带上了他的电话。故选D。
31. A Huggons应该是朝着他所听到的声音方向而去。故选A。
32. B 警察应该是警告Huggons不要进入Sibson的房子。故选enter。
33. C Huggons说他不能听到Sibson的拼命叫喊。应使用scream。
34. A Huggons进入房子,但由于烟雾很大,他很快不得不跑回来“喘口气”。此处catch one’s breath意为“喘口气”,故答案选A。
35. D 在又一次打算进入房子的尝试之后,Huggons最后还是放弃了,绕着圈子回来了。此处应使用attempt(尝试)。
36. B 由于烟雾很大,Huggons应该是摸索着绕着从房子里面出来的,故选B。
37. C 当风将烟雾吹得足够的分散,以致他能够看到Sibson。此处part表示将…分开,因此不能用open,因此答案选C。
38. D 他用电筒往丛林中照。此处shine the flashlight为固定说法,意为“用电筒照”。故选D。
39. C Huggons将梯子搭在房子上,将Sibson从二楼拽下来。此时二楼房子就要倒了,为了形容动作之快,故用pull。
40. D 根据后文Sibson自己所说的话“我当天晚上是一个人。然后我听到了我生命中最美丽的声音,是Huggons。”可知,他对Huggons心存感激。故选D。

I   38   . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose   39  that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.

【点评】
2011年高考英语浙江卷完形填空部分原文节选于读者文摘(Reader'sDigest)澳大利亚版,考题略有删节,并替换掉原文中超过高考范围的词汇,采取同义词替换的手段使原文表述通畅。所选文章延续历年出题模式,以记叙文为题材,选取作者在生命中不平凡的阶段受到陌生人帮助的事实,歌颂和赞扬人间真情和助人的美德。
【解析】
21题,属于上文提示法,首句中出现ill,此选项应是ill的同义表达,故选D.sickness。
  22题,属于上文提示法,上句出现病情可以manageable,所以作者应该是享受那段过去的美好时光,故选B.enjoyed。此选项在2009年全国一卷完形填空部分第41题出现过,且也为正确选项。
  23题,属于下文解释法,下文出现发生改变,结合首句作者生病,可推出作者表达的是不幸的情绪,故选C.unfortunately。此选项为高考完形填空中的的高频选项。
  24题,属于转折对比法,上文出现yearsago和changed,因此推出此题应回归现实,故选A.now。此选项在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37题出现过,且也为正确选项。
  25题,属于固定搭配法,addupto总计,makeupfor弥补,补偿,getridof处理,摆脱,takeadvantageof利用,此题应选B.makeupfor。此选项考生不应陌生,2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21题D选项曾出现过此词,可见背历年考题中的选项部分的重要性。
  26题,属于逻辑关系法,此法多用于句子与句子之间,解决连词的问题。此题因为作者下午需要睡觉,所以受到限制。故选B.As。
  27题,属于上文解释法,第三段首句提到作者打算做某事,但由于病情,下午需要睡觉,所以选择受限,故选C.choices。
  28题,属于前后照应法,上文提到过几年之前唱歌的事实,此处再次出现要去唱歌,故选D.goingback。
  29题,属于中文代入法,全家都是音乐家,所以走进音像店会被认出,故选A.recognized。
  30题,属于AandB法,这是并列结构,要求前后词性与词义要相似,几乎在每年的高考完形中都会考查这个知识点。本题and之前说东西很贵,之后理应推出没有足够的钱,故选A.money。
  31题,属于反义多一对,即四个选项中有一组反义词,答案多在这组反义词中出现。此题C和D构成反义结构,根据文章信息,故选D.often。
  32题,属于中文代入法,实际上一张光盘里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用,故选A.actually。
  33题,属于上文提示法,上文中作者有提到过想再次唱歌的这个想法,故选C.idea。
  34题,属于同义辨析法,此考查点多在四级考试完形填空部分中出现,在2008年高考英语浙江卷第26题也曾考查过,当年的难度系数约为0.32。此题中的B.view强调的是眺望风景,C.look强调看的眼神,D.sight强调视力,本文店主深深地看了作者,属于眼神之间的交流,故选C.look。
  35题,属于固定搭配法,店主带领作者穿过拥挤的店铺,从空间穿过,故选D.through。
  36题,属于感情色彩法,此法多用于解决形容词或副词。下文出现treasure,因此可以推出店主对自己的宝物爱不释手,心爱地触摸,故选B.lovingly。
  37题,属于固定搭配法,takeyourpick,美国俚语,随你挑选的意思,故选A.pick。
  38题,属于语法识别法,近几年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化语法点考查,一般只会涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本应该做的事情而没有做,放在原文中过于牵强,而本题是作者受到店主的感激,非常感动,本可以哭但没有哭,故选D.couldhavecried。
  39题,属于寻找重复法,31题与32题之前曾出现onlythreetofoursongs...canuse,对应...couldsing,故选B.theones。
  40题,属于主旨概况法,即所选选项要与原文中心相一致。本文详细描述店主对作者的帮助,店主的善举感动作者,故选C.kindness。

完形填空还是秉承一贯的风格,记叙文体。本文选自一个短篇故事‘ A Village on the Road'(沿途上的村庄)中的前5段。和2008年陕西高考完形风格类似,不断出现角色呼应等结构。咱们日新学员只需用课堂上讲过的技巧,抓住首段中主调色彩,必备角色的心理活动到具体行为的合理过度,再加上联系选项中词语辨析,感情色彩辨析,词语搭配修饰,应对今年的完形填空应该比较轻松。具体分析如下:
26题选problems,与首句中的poverty行成合理替换。
27题根据从句语境,以及第42空后面的 travelling结构在现,应该选travelling.
28题根据文章主调色彩选poor.
29题典型因果关系,选so
30题代词指代加动词短语share sth out,选they指代前面的gold and jewels.
31题根据平行结构,就可知poverty是worrying situation.
32题复现原则加呼应结构选 the villagers.
33题根据他的行为可以判断选情态动词could表能够。
34题根据他给这些村民食物和饮品就可判断出他能够明白钱对这些村民几乎无用。

36. A  根据前面的句子可知,男孩并不是很喜欢吃水果,因此如果要他选择的话,他更喜欢吃一块巧克力。
37. C  根据下面的句子“禁果诱人”可判断,上下文之间是转折关系,所以选择but。
38. C  根据下文第50个空所在的句子中出现的hungry一词可判断,此处选择hungrier,表示“他越看那只苹果就越觉得肚子饿”。
39. B  为了够到那只苹果,小男孩踮起脚尖,尽可能把身体伸展到最高的程度。expand扩大,扩充,扩展;stretch伸展,舒展;swing摆动,摇动;pull拉,扯,拔。
40. D  根据语境可知,小男孩是站着伸手去够苹果,因此此处指的是身体的高度,不是力量、长度或范围。
41. A  根据生活常识可判断,既然小男孩站着够不到苹果,他只能开始上下跳跃。
42. C  每次跳到最高的时候,小男孩就伸长了胳膊去够苹果。at the top of在……顶部或顶端。
43. D  根据下文可知,小男孩最终没有摘到苹果。out of reach是固定短语,意为“手够不着, 达不到”。

45. A  小男孩身上背着书包,可他不想弄坏里面装的东西。break在此处表示“弄坏,折断”。

47. B  小男孩希望自己能够找到一个旧箱子,一块大石头,或者,如果顺利的话,能找到一架梯子。for luck为了吉利,为了祈求好运;with luck如果一切顺利的话;其他两个介词不能与luck搭配。
48. C  小男孩尝试了所有的方法,在眼看没有任何其他选择的情况下,小男孩只好放弃了。
49. B  没有办法摘到苹果,小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。
50. C  根据上文可知,小男孩做了很多努力,因此耗尽了力气,觉得又累又饿。
51. A  此处表示他越是这样想,就越觉得不开心。
52. B  根据上下文内容可知,此处存在的是转折关系,所以选择however“然而,可是”。
53. D  根据下文内容可知,小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题,觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助,不能从根本上解决问题。
54. D  结合上文内容可知,小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了,苹果也不会得到了。
55. A  小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华:面对无法解决的问题,我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。

“Thank you very much, dear,” replied the old lady. “Don’t worry — I’ll __48__ in time.”

第三节  完形填空
    【总体评析】最近几年来的完形填空试题材料选材上,都力图选取一篇有教育意义和现实实用价值的文章。受到更多先进快捷媒体比如internet的冲击的现状,作者通过回顾和现状事实的对比描述,也表达了自己的担忧:未来书信何去何从?通常来讲,这样的文量均会是一篇记叙文或者一个与生活有关的一些经历描述:这篇文章就是亦属于与生活相关:这是一篇教育性或倡导性文章:通过描述自己与哥哥的交往变化来倡导书信在交流中的重要性作者措述了一个有趣的事实:在相聚中,自己与哥哥相处不好,忽视了它的优点:但是分开后.多亏了没有现代化的交通工具…电话、email.所以只能写信.再次展现哥哥的品质,所以连作者本人都发出感叹: “Because we live in an age of easy communication(通讯),people often forget  that they don’t always have to phone or email. They have a choice  . And that is to write.”(因为我们生活在通讯工具便捷的时代,人们难免会忘掉我们不必总得用电话或电子邮件联系,我们还有另一种选择,那就是写信。)
这样的记叙思路恰好是全国卷高考英语命题的潜在思想,达到了教育性
启迪性的目的。
该试题的难度和前几年相比,难度相当;用词选项方面,都间接考查了构词法:reread, deepem等,类似于去年的acceptance,难度上略微有所增加。
详细解析
21. D
解析:前文有enjoy, read,不可能是received 或 returned, 只能是“重读”。Rewritten表示“重写”
22. C 表示保持两人的友谊
23. A 根据后文举例说明,故用give an example
24. C get through通过,完成; get together 聚会,聚焦; get along 相处; get away走开,离开
25. B Children 与后面的grow apart呼应
26. C 根据后文的our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels,推理出“不愉快”,选择pleasant
27. A 根据情感变化是“加深误解”,故选用deepen,该题主要考构词法
28. D 搬家,迁居,move to some place
29. A 失去联系lose touch with sb.
30. B 根据上下文,鼓励我写信 encourage me to write
31. A. drive 驾驶;驱动;驱赶。这里是为他的语言文字所驱使或驱动之意。
32. D 忆往昔,曾几何时,这些品质恰是我尊重哥哥的原因。Once 曾经
33. C 但“认为”他不再具备这些品质。Thought说明过去的想法
34. A 强调写信的好
35. D 我们再一次成为朋友。Again“再一次,又”
36. D 整句话是虚拟语气,“如果哥哥去的地方不是因为没有电话,他将不会给我写信”是哥哥的身上发生的事
37. C 同36题
38. B 当代是通讯发达的年代,故选easy,表示便捷的意思。
39. D 根据文章,人们忘掉了这一点(参考总体评析)。此处提醒人们要记得并非必须用电话、电子邮件才能交流
40. B 另一种选择 choice

语篇解读:本文记述了作者一次因开会去拉斯维加斯时,飞机因沙尘暴而延时降落,在不断延长的等待中,成人焦急、害怕,唯独不知恐惧的婴儿在享受着过山车一样的颠簸。作者也深受启发,体验了一次孩子的享受。
21. 答案:B
解析:根据 “High desert winds…to close all but one runway”可知因沙尘暴关闭所有的跑道,只留一条,故应为延时降落。
22. 答案:A
解析:因为沙尘暴迫使机场关闭跑道。 B为“警告”;C意为“打扫,席卷”;D意为“提醒”,均不符合题意
23. 答案:C

解析:根据上下文句意可知,飞机要绕城市盘旋几分钟以便等待着陆

28.答案B解析:此空前的that指的是using airsickness bags,也就是发生在飞机上狭小空间中的呕吐,因此选用narrow“狭窄的”,后面的space指的是飞机内部空间。empty 意为“空的”,secret意为“秘密的”,均不合题意。
29.答案A解析:在这种情形下本来就很难受,在飞机上呕吐使得这种难受更加强烈,此处serve意为“起……作用,用作……”。
30. 答案:A
解析:根据后面的 a sense of anxiety and fear可知,人们都很紧张、焦虑,在这种情形下飞机上的人一定是静悄悄的。
31. 答案:D
解析:飞机上的焦躁不安,应该是能够很明显的被感觉到,故选clearly
32. 答案:B
解析:从后文中的 “he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried…Those are what we grown—ups have learned …”他不知道害怕和着急……,那是我们成年人……,可推测出应该是孩子

I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d  22  ?” Just when I started to  23  that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women  24  at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of  25  that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t  26  . Somebody had thought  27  of me to bring me a gift.  
      Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my  28  Christmas there special and memorable, I  29  remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of  30  for as many children as I could possibly reach. 
      So I  31  a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,  32  with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were  33  . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I   34  them that they couldn’t open their presents  35  every child had come forward. Finally the  36  they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles  37  up the room. The  38  in the room was obvious, and  39  wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew  40  that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could   36   tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he  37  in class.
When I took the first exam, I was   38   to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper,   39   English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained_ 40   .
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that   41   because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I   42   with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his  43  .
One more test before the final exam. One more  44  to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time,  45  the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my  46__    did no good and everything  47   as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what   48   I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the   49   goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even  50  myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 51__with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He  52__ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you  53  , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him,  54  that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head   55  , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

Passage 14
(08·辽宁)
I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a   36   over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always   37  . Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was   38  . I’ve always been glad about that.
	It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t   39   for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big   40   for the kids was the fun of Christmas   41  .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking   42   what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for   43   to share by all five of us.
The big   44   arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and   45   them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would   46   back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits,   47   my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually   48  . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies— fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything   49   we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,  50   to be angry again. This is what she told me:
	“I was looking   51   thinking of what to buy, and I   52   to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’.One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she   53   for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and   54   the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
	I never felt so   55   as I did that day.

On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees.Rolling down the windows to   41   in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch.Suddenly she   42   a big bald(秃顶的)man running through the parking lot.Before she came to   43   what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”

Pulling open her door, the man seized her   45   the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground.She screamed,   46   her purse and the keys.
Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a   47  , heard the screams and began running.
When they   48   Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was
   49   searching for the keys.Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out.The attacker  50   back.But even in his cornered panic, he was no   51   for the two athletic men.
Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too.He rushed back to the office to   52   the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes—used to tie up newspapers.
With his arms   53   tightly behind him, the prisoner looked up and said   54  , “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves— you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They   55   him and waited for the police.
Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the   56   carjacker (劫车者)and suspected murderer, whose   57  — but with a full head of hair—had been recently printed on their own newspaper.
Neilson considers herself lucky   58   she suffered injuries.She believes the story might have had a   59   ending if those good people had not come to her aid.“Unfortunately,” she says, “many people would  60  have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”

Passage 16
(08·江西)
The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets.About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading 
  36   to the sea.
“Hey, look!” exclaimed Rahim.“Those two men are   37   heavy rocks.I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological   38   ”.
“You don’t    39    a crane(起重机)to unload less than a dozen rocks, do you?” smiled Joshua.
“But those men don’t    40    to have muscles at all.” said Michael, rather surprised. Joshua smiled.
“They are    41    labourers who know how to spread the weight of the rocks they
  42  .See how the man positions the rock just at the slope of his   43  .Some of the rock’s weight is set   44   his head, some on the right hand and some on the left hand.His body isn’t bent.His legs are well  45  .”
“You’re right, Josh.He may have a small build.  46    he certainly well knows his job.Dear me! And to think we have been studying   47   ! ” Rahim thought about all that was happening.Suddenly, he said, “Technology won’t   48   the human being completely, it appears.”
“I don’t think it will.”   49    Joshua.“You can harvest a crop of potatoes or wheat with one of those large, multi-purpose tractors, but you   50    use that equipment to harvest tea leaves and tomatoes, will you?”
“You can get a computer to    51    multiple-choice assessments, but you cannot get the computer to produce or assess essays, can you?” asked Michael.
“Well, the washing machine leaves my shirt collar quite as   52    as ever — that’s domestic technology for you! ” said Rahim.
“One day, perhaps, there won’t be anybody    53    who can carry a large rock the way those men do.It’s not going to be a very   54    world, I’m afraid.” sighed Michael.
“You’re too much of a pessimist (悲观主义者),Mike.” said Joshua.“    55   will always be other things that will make the world exciting.”

I couldn’t believe it. Of course we’d had our little   43   in the past, but she’d never called any of my ideas “  44  ”before.
“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours!”
  45   words had been out, our friendship was challenged.
When Friday finally arrived, I had to   46   Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good.  47  ,my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived   48   three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were   49  .I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the   50  .The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells(蛋壳) from those   51   drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent  Egg Gream.

The part of my job I    47    most was the comseling(咨询) meeting I    48     with the family members of the men and women in my    49   , trying to help them deal with the long periods of    50   . These proved popular and word of them spread.   51    I was being asked to give encouraging    52    to business groups, educators and keds across the country.
But I consider the boot camp my first real    53   , and my life is still guided by the 
   54    lessons I hearned there. It taught me discipline, friendship and the pride related to setting a task every day and working hard to    55    it.

Many years ago,I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a   41   on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from   42   to toe,explained that he had    43   out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children   44   at the car and siad that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had    45    a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46   ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    47   me back.
Before leaving,I had turned the heater   48   in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and   49   .While the little ones played and ran   50   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the   51   .
It was about 5 a.m. before they    52   .The young fellow asked me how much he   53   me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    54   $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later,I received a   55    from Interstate,a large bus company that we had been trying to   56   to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It   57   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most   58   person in the company.
In his letter,he thanked me again and    59   me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this   60   ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

  50   quarters and a dollar and said, “75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more   51   after that. 
   By the end of the day, I could remember orders,   52   the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little   53   when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she   54   that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy

On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront café on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in    36   air.  Crowded. Tempers(脾气)of both the tourists and waiters had    37   to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment(环境)
	At the table next to mine sat an attractive,    38    couple, waiting for    39  .  They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their    40    and stepped together     41    the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped   42   for the two chairs. He politely   43   his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.
	   44   appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to   45    the table and take their  46   , and then walked back to the    47    cheers of the rest of his    48  . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went     49    into the water to     50     the wine. The couple toasted(祝酒)each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd   51   by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables  52   to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.
	One doesn’t step into water in one’s best summer clothes. Why not?

(06·全国Ⅱ)
The year I went away to college was a very difficult transition(过渡期)for me.    21    is probably true with many people. I got quite homesick and    22    thought about going home.
Although the   23   time for many students is getting   24   from home, my mailbox was frequently   25  . One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard   26   out at me. I sat down to read it,   27   a note from someone back home.   28   I became increasingly puzzled (困惑)as   29   postcards were like this; It was a full news report about a woman named Mabel and her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and   30   about it. 
Several days later I   31   another postcard, this one   32   news about Maybelline, Mabel’s

My husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday. We have the double-hung(双吊钩) 36  that you can pull forward and flip(翻转), allowing us to  37  the inside and the outside surfaces.
My husband was   38   one window - and it popped out (跳出)of its frame!  Well, our  39   is for sale and the last thing we needed was for something to   40  .
He was so   41   and tried with all his strength to get it   42   together, using a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say). After twenty minutes he still could not get it   43  . That's when my 23-year- old   44   told his dad to   45   for a minute and he would try to fix it with me.
It's amazing how you can see things more clearly and do things more  46   when you are  47  . He and I fixed the window in three minutes! I called my husband in to see! He couldn't   48   it! 
I know this isn't really a gift   49  , in a way, it was. My son   50  my husband, to leave to cool down, and  51   him from the worry for a moment. And my son fixing it with me was a   52  to me, because I saw him as a man   53   the kid he always seems to be in my  54  .

Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I   36   across some old love letters that my parents wrote to each other. These letters were all piled up in a basket, dirty and   37   with dust. Deciding to read and sort them, I asked them if I could take the letters back to my Illinois home. They   38  .
As I carefully opened each letter,   39  of them fragile with age, I discovered a new page 40   unknown to me in this private chapter of my parents' lives. 
My father used to   41   in the army. So his letters were full of frontline   42   of the things about the war. Each of my mother's letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick kiss. I was   43   to these letters like a magnet(磁铁).
Just six weeks after our Christmas visit, Daddy became very   44   and was hospitalized. This time, he was fighting a   45   kind of war. As I sat by his bedside, we discussed the   46  . He told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had   47  to him when he had been so far from home.
It so happened that the next day would be February 14. From the   48   letters I chose the card my father had sent Mother in 1944 and brought it to my father’s bedside.
At his bedside, I joked with him, saying   49  , "Today is Valentine's Day, don’t you want to send Mother a present?" He became more   50   when I handed him the old   51  . He carefully opened it and took out the card, and when he   52   it, his eyes were filled with tears.
My father, in a   53   tight with emotion (情感) read the loving message he'd sent to my mother fifty-six years   54  . And this time, he could read it to her in   55  .

“I am so proud of you and all you have achieved. I   21  your opinion from. The L. A. Times with my family and thought about you as my student at Hibbing High School.”
It was    22  Margarel Leibfried, — a teacher who helped me believe that I could become   23  .
Thirty years ago, in Hibbing, I  24  high school as a bookish introvert(内向)made all the more shy because I was the school’s only non—while student. I always felt  25  being swept away by a sea of golden hair schoolmates. By 10th grade, I’d developed strange behavior, hoping to   26  being laughed at as a “brain”. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories.
Ms. Leibfried taught composition grammar, as well as the usual – memorizing vocabulary and reading  27  .
Exciting to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my   28  in both reading and writing, and she took the time to draw me out; she   29   offered reading suggestions.
That year’s big task was a book report, to be read aloud to   30  .   31  , Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report. I was to    32   a passage from a book, memorize it and reeite it in front of the class.
The morning of the presentations, I remember  33  sweating(出汗)so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I held my hands  34  in prayer(祈祷)formation, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my shirt. I finished and,   35  , the class broke out in applause(鼓掌). “As a writer and a good reader, Marie has  36  a particularly sensitive part of novel and   37  it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.
I can now appreciate how much  38  it must have taken for those teachers to let me move away so   39  from the lesson plan. With today’s pressure on teachers to “teach to the test,” I wonder if any would or could take the time to find the potential(潜力)in a single,    40   student. Good teaching helps make productive and fully realized adults – a result that won’t show up in each term’s test scores.

LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He  36  needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good  37  , so the next day I got ready to go.
I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes  38  , and helped Alex and   39  of the volunteers. There were only three  40  at first, and we figured we might as well get started  41  just waiting for more to arrive. I held the   42  , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not  43  asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to   44  those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,   45  I cannot alone  46  every single cause in the world!
I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.   47  , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they  48  . I realized that   49  I wasn’t pushy(强求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be  50  .
I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.   51  I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small  52  . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away  53  .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the   54  , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and   55  how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.

This is no joke. Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt, 20, and Kelly Carl Hildebrandt, 24, are expecting just over 100 guests at a   21   at a church, where they will become husband and wife. 
Their modern romance was a   22   made in cyberspace(网络空间). She was   23   and bored one night last year, so she typed her name into the   24   social networking Website Facebook just to see if anyone   25   it: Hildebrandt, 24, in South Florida. At the time, Kelly Hildebrandt, of Lubbock, Texas, was the only one matched. So she sent him a   26  . She said, “Hi. We had the same name. Thought it was cool.” Kelly Carl Hildebrandt said, “I thought she was pretty   27  .” 
For the next three months the two   28   e-mails.   29   he knew it, occasional phone calls turned into daily chats, sometimes   30   hours. He   31   her in Florida after a few months and fell head over heels. 
“I thought it was fun,” he said of that first online meet. “I had no   32   that it would lead to this.” 
Months after Kelly Hildebrandt sent her first e-mail, she found a diamond engagement   33    hidden in treasure box on a beach in December. “I totally think that it’s all God’s   34   ,” Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt said. “He planned it out just   35  .” 
She's a student at a local community college. He works in financial   36  . They plan to make their home in South Florida. 
There was also some uncertainty   37   how to phrase their wedding invitations, so they decided to include their   38   names. But   39   confusion likely won't carry on past the husband and wife, as Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt said there are no plans to pass along the name to their future   40  . “No,” she said. “We're definitely not going to name our kids Kelly.”

My eyes    53    as I looked into her tear-streaked face. “Yes,” I answered, “I am     54    she will.” Silently I thanked God for using these children to  remind me of the true    55   of giving.

Passage 1
(2010年海淀区一模)
I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a  36 in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it's nothing,but he   37  I come to see you”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would  38 to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything herself.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the
 39 of her mouth.A careful examination later   40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
    During her next appointment,I explained to her the   41  of the problem She clasped my
hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just  42 .”
    I thought otherwise.After considerable  43 on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to  44 me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected, 45 treatment.
  About six months later she returned to my office,still energetic and  46  .
  “How are you?”I asked.
  “I’m just fine,honey,”she responded  47  high spirits.“When can I get stared on fixing
my dentures(假牙)?”
  	Surprised to see her at all,I answered   48  ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll
see about it. ”
  	I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had  49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness  50 .
  	I had read of such things happening,but had  51 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I've seen many others,because they keep getting  52 to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are n miracle,  53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  54  the miracles of one another.
  	Since my first miracle,I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.

Passage 4
(安徽省铜陵市第三中学2010届高三第二次月考)
This morning, I received a phone call from one of my close friends, Nikko, which immediately changed this bright sunny day into a dark terrible pit of endless sorrow. He told me that Diane’s dad had just  36  , at 12:00 on January 3,2008. 
Nikko told me that Diane had  37  everything about her dad on her blog, so I  38  right up from bed and got to her blog instantly. Her blog, always so  39  and nice, is suddenly filled with sorrow and grief.
She must have been writing with  40  streaming down her cheeks, with eyes so  41  from the sleepless night, and with a heart so  42  and regretful and yet, she wrote the post, full of determination and will,  43  strength and love. She showed no  44  of weakness and retreat. She  45  that she didn’t notice how her father was feeling before the sudden stroke (中风)   46 him on his sleep. I feel so sorry for her , as her close friend, that I am not able to give her my support and a shoulder to  47  because I live so far away. But I know she will be  48  . She had determined to become the pillar(支柱) of  49  for her mom and her brother. 
Although Diane’s father is no longer  50  , his memories would always be with his family. I gave Diane my deepest condolence(吊唁)for her  51  of her most beloved one.
I have known Diane and her family ever since we were in primary school.  52  can be really cruel sometimes,  53  someone or something you have learned to love and rely on. A(n)  54  death like Diane’s father is the most sorrowful. Destiny didn’t even give his family the  55  to say their last goodbyes.
Diane wanted everyone to cherish their loved ones and do not wait until it’s already too late. Tell them you love them and let them know how you feel before it’s too late.

(山西省太原五中2010届高三下学期五月月考)
Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   36  filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   37   that I decided to write an article about her.
I   38   Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She   39   and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I   40   I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there   41  , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that   42   Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The   43   was almost unbearable. I struggled for days   44   draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript   45  . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I   46   in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t   47   the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While   48   my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in   49  :
 Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50   materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51   your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to   52  . Fear of rejection cost me ly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53   writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54  , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t   55   to doubt yourself.

Passage 8
(广东省汕头市苏北中学2010届高三第四次月考)
I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a    21    over our head, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always    22   . Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was strict. I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big   23   for the kids was the fun of Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for    24    to share by all five of us.
The big    25   arrived. I gave each kid a twenty – dollar bill and    26    them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered. We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, except my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually    27   . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies - fifty – cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed as the door, ready to be angry again. This is what she told me.
“ I was looking around    28   of what to buy, and I stopped to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’. One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll. So I took the card off the tree and    29   the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so   30   as I did that day.

(拉萨中学2010届高三第七次月考试题)
In February 2006, I flew into Beijing from Shanghai to watch a performance by Iceland’s Bjork and to interview her.
Some people find it difficult to   36   Bjork’s music.  Her sound is an acquired taste, but  37   you get into it, you’re hooked. After the   38   press conference, I was   39   to a room where we did a one-on-one   40   for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun.
The   41   at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork   42   the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.
However, an incident gave me an impression that she was unusual and moody.
The next day I was invited to go to the Great Wall with a lot of   43   who were to take pictures of Bjork. She was with her son and did not seem to be in the   44   for the photographers. She stood and stared at the ground, not facing the   45  .
Then suddenly, she ran off to the   46  , out to her waiting bus, and sped back to Beijing. It was strange to see since she had been so   47   with the press a few days before.
After leaving Beijing, she went on to perform in Hong Kong and Thailand. In a story that   48   around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport who   49   said, “Welcome to Thailand!”
You may have seen her at the Academy Awards a few years ago when she   50   in that usual swan costume,   51   perhaps her performance of Oceania at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Greece Olympics. Bjork does demand attention.
She’s   52   a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every album, and this one is no   53   .
Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again with an artistic   54   . It is   55   to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you will have a lot to get into.

(江西省重点中学盟校2010届高三第二次联考)
Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37   the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51   my mistakes, I always wanted the   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   53   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son

(广西桂林市2010届第一次模拟考试)
It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet  36  . The loaded plates I carried  37  to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t able to do anything  38  . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream  39  a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father  40  at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,”  he said, “you’ve   41  us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness  42  . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I'd like my first day, I said, “  43   !” Those few words of praise had  44  everything. Praise is like  45  to the human spirit; we cannot grow without it. And  46  ,while most of us are only too  47  to apply(应用)to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are  48  to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why---when one word of praise can bring such  49  ?

It’s  51   rewarding (奖赏)to give praise in areas in which  52  generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets complimented (admired)for a glorious picture, a cook for a  53  meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are  54  just right? In fact, to give praise  55  the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort..

One of us should climb up but we couldn’t   40   to get him moving down. 
Luckily, my youngest sister, Ka, five then, had seen a(n) 41  situation. She suggested we grab a 42   , hold it under the branch, and tell him to   43    so we could catch him. My other sister, Yams, one year younger than me, looked at me eagerly to    44    her idea and I said “Yeah, let’s try that.” 
Immediately we    45    a sheet and held it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were    46    from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were    47    it could work.
Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a  48  voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at  49  with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go. 
How    50    he was to trust us! And no matter how  51  we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big    53    right in the sheet!
Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to sense if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”,    54  ,  “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man! 
Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it.  55  , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.

	As time went on, I came across many   37   customers. But anytime I felt  38  , I thought of that little  39  . Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my  40   and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

Passage 5
(黑龙江省哈师大附中2009届高三四模)
Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as    36  . What would she do with me? She was almost mad after the   37   of her husband.
A few minutes later, I heard the truck   38   its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any   39  . Finally she put me down in a   40   place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.
I   41   out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.
It turned out that my owner meant to   42   me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther away. So I cast my head   43   the direction of the truck. The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner, who suffered liver cancer, looked at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself   44   my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all   45  . 
I ran as fast as I could. And the   46   I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a (an)   47   lady. She seemed even somewhat   48   at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to   49   the pains of losing him. She   50   his pictures and clothes, she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only    51   thing to remind her of him.  52   later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this...
The truck finally stopped when I was almost   53  . She ran up to me and hugged me    54  . I heard her   55 : “I know you are a present he left to me.”

A(An)  40   was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others.  41   a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company   42   as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my  43  . Many people were  44   that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked  45   I would risk everything for a dream.

49   to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a   50   ?” I would 
never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that  51   I had accomplished in the

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the  21  celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not  22  much from the war there, though, like most children of my age, I often saw  23  houses in the streets and the very big  24  lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become  25  to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously,  26  had been better, though I was too young to understand why,  27  there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had  28  heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very  29  to me. I did not remember what London was like.
  What I remember now  30  V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting  31  and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and  32  myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.
  It was May and still broad  33  when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to  34  the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very  35 , and somehow people had collected some old clothes to  36  “Hitler” with the moustache they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames  37  soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.
  I stood beside my father until the  38  started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had  39  in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the  40  one”

Passage 11
(北京市101中学2009届高三三模)
My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this    36   . 
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and    37   . All the students were working    38    a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no    39    of stopping. I walked down the row and found    40    was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do. 
By this time the activity aroused my    41   , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on    42    I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …… I felt it best not to    43   . 
After another ten minutes, the students were    44    to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna 
45    hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door.??	Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to    46   . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the    47    of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and    48    your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave. 
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to    49    the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is    50    by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in    51   . Amen!” 
She turned the students    52    and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the    53    of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student    54    and said, “I Can’t,” Donna    55    pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

“Good night, Nan,” I said. I 31  my stick and headed out the door. “See you tomorrow,” Nan called behind me. I locked the door and 32  my way home. 
Several minutes 33 I heard a sound. It was Nan on the 34  . “Jim! Jim!” I heard over the monitor. “The house is 35 ! Help! ”
I went as   36   as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door. I could 37 a heavy, thick smoke. I put my hand on the doorknob(门把手), and reached for my key and 38  the door. “Here, Jim. Help!” Her voice was weak. 
“Let’s get out of here!” I shouted. Grabbing her hand, I started to move on. I tapped with my cane 39 we found the front door. We felt our way down the steps, 40 in the sweet, fresh summer air, and to the gate of her yard. Thank you, Lord. We’re all safe.

I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone knocked on our door. A man was there with a giant   36  and some other food. The stranger announced, “I’m here to help people  37  . Have a great Thanksgiving.”
From then on ,I promised  38  that someday I would do the same for others. Every Thanksgiving since I was eighteen, I would buy enough food,   39  like a delivery boy, go to the   40  neighborhood and knock on a door. I always   41  a note explaining my Thanksgiving experience as a kid. I have received  42  from it than from any amount of money.
Last Thanksgiving I was in a hotel in New York with my new wife. She was sad because normally she  43  be home decorating the house for Christmas. I said, “Why don’t we decorate some  44  today instead of trees?” When I told her what I always did on Thanksgiving , she got  45  .
We went down to the street to  46  a van. We has waved to about twenty drivers before one finally   47  . We asked him, “Could you take us to a disadvantaged area? We’ll pay you.”
The driver said, “You don’t have to 48  me. I’ll take you to places you’ve  49  thought of going.   50  first tell me why you want to do this.”
I told him my story and that I wanted to show gratitude by giving something  51  . We bought food  52  for a troop. Then he took us to the South Bronx where there were half a dozen people living in one room with no electricity or heat in the dead of   53  . It was both an  54  realization that people lived this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small  55  .

Passage 19
(江西省师大附中2009届高三三模试卷)
It was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she  36  at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy,  37  we take him home?”
    I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden  38  feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her  39 , whether it was  40  in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing  41  and beggary.
    A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and  42  it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I  43  us up. Nora was  44  about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how  45  our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to  46  myself to leave the house. On the way to the school, I fought an urge to turn  47 . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting at home. Why do this?  48 , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She  49  us right over.
    The building was in a sad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. 50  inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears.
    Professionals call such a(n)  51  “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities, I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have opportunity to do something  52  that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve to needy people and  53  clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve  54  her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has  55  more?
